Ive been doing a relatively straightforward install of Arch. gnome, gnome-extras, xorg, nvidia is pretty much it. But whenever I get into the desktop, my usb drives and cd drive correctly register being inserted, yet I can't actually open them. Ive added my user to the storage group, hal is working fine, dbus is running. Any ideas?

This is probably an issue with PolicyKit. You can do a forum search and there are several ways people have worked around this. I altered my /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf file like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- XML -*- -->
<!DOCTYPE pkconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Configuration 1.0//EN"
"http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/PolicyKit/1.0/config.dtd">
<!-- See the manual page PolicyKit.conf(5) for file format -->
<config version="0.1">
<match user="cd">
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.*">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
<match action="hal-storage-mount-fixed-extra-options">
<return result="yes" />
</match>
<match action="hal-storage-mount-removable-extra-options">
<return result="yes" />
</match>
</match>
</config>

Solution:
Since I'm using Slim to login (instead of the attrocious gdm), hal doesn't get initialized correctly unless .xinitrc is:
exec ck-launch-session gnome-session.
Solution gained from 2nd post, googling policy kit and arch, and finding this: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13162
